Clock reset and cant find satellite

Every time the unit loses power I have to reset the clock and I have to reset the switch several times before the signal is acquired. This is becoming a very annoying problem. Now I have sent several E mails to the customer support and they do not offer any real solution.

You never have to set the clock. As soon as the unit gets the GPS signal the clock is set to that location's time. BTW, the switch on the bottom turns all power off ... and you can't charge in that mode.

It *might* be
- that the "CMOS battery" (normally a coin cell about 13mm in diameter) is dead, in which case you should replace it.
- The crystal which stabilizes the RTC has drifted.
- If this problem has always occurred it may be the that the RTC chip is defective, but this is highly unlikely, and even less likely to have developed a fault with time.
- if you connect to the internet frequently (several times per day) the above can be ruled out (I think).

Our oven clock does the same thing every time the power blips, but we live way out in the boonies and expect occasional problems. Do your lights blink too? Check with your neighbors to see if they have power problems. If this is a chronic situation, contact your power company to see if they can repair the situation.

hold the src button left of power along with button to the right power.a model number will appear once it does let it disappear and the unit will go into reset. set the language, 12/hr, 24hr etc and the time. :)

On the back of the clock - left hand side if you've laid it down on it's face - is a row of switches. You need to start the time set-up with the clock having been unplugged so there's no time set in the memory.
Now, to those switches: The first (from the left) is DST = Daylight Savings Time - right now you'de set this to "ON."
The second switch is Time Zone: PST, MST, CST, EST (Pacific, Mountain, Central, Eastern). Set the switch to the time zone you are in.
The third is just the brightness.

Now, to set the time itself:
1 - Turn the clock face back up to where you can see it.
2 - LOOK AT THE CLOCK - LOL! This is an atomically set clock - you shouldn't need to set the time. The atomic clock bounces off of satellites all around the world. There is literally little to no "dead zones" for the clock, so you should never have to set your clock - just set it up like I state at the beginning.
